	PlanetXbox360 Game of Show "After putting nearly an hour into the game it was the one title that we talked about the entire way back to the office, this game is going to be epic in proportions and there should not be a gamer out there that has not went to their local game shop and put down the money for a pre-order."
	WhatIfGaming Best RPG Runner Up Game of Show Runner Up Best Artistic Design Runner Up Revolutionary Design Runner Up Best Console Game Runner Up Best PC Game Runner Up Best 3rd Person Shooter Game "With a great combat system like the VATS and moreover a vast landscape that is still similarly unparalleled to Bethesda Softworks' previous titles, Fallout 3 might be the first post-apocalyptic world that everyone wants to surprisingly be some part."
	UGO Best in Show Best RPG Best Console Game "There were a lot of very impressive candidates, but none made us feel more pissed about not being able to take the disc home with us."
	X-Play Best of Multiplatform
	IGN "... Fallout 3 is still one of the most engaging and playable titles this side of Liberty City... and I've only tested it for about an hour."
	GameSpot "Fallout 3 is a hideous world, but after playing the game for a half hour today, we weren't ready to leave it yet."
	GameInformer "Fallout 3 is a Fallout game."
	shacknews "But Fallout 3 is undoubtedly shaping up to be a solid game in its own right, and one that clearly takes many significant cues from the previous titles--from the opening scene, to the wonderfully realized PIPBoy menu."
	GameSpy "Earlier today half our editorial team stormed the Bethesda booth and absolutely milked the demo for everything we could. We were a walking crimewave, and at this point couldn't be happier with Bethesda's take on the source material."
	GamesRadar "Created by Bethesda, the same developer behind that sprawling fantasy epic, Fallout 3 has some pretty huge shoes to fill - but judging by what we've seen so far, it took one look, scoffed and is currently at work on an even bigger pair."
	1Up "Even if the first thing we saw hadn't been the moment coming out of the vault, Fallout 3 still would have taken our breath away."
